He was on statutory release serving a two-year sentence for raping a woman and repeatedly punching her in a Chilliwack alley in 2012. A judge gave him a two-year jail sentence with three years of probation for the sexual assault and one year in jail and three years on probation for the physical assault.

Prior to his disappearance last week, he was seen wearing a grey hoodie with a Puma logo, dark pants, white shoes and a black backpack.
